Many-body localized systems in which interactions and disorder come together defy the expectations of quantum statistical mechanics: They do not thermalize when undergoing non-equilibrium dynamics. In this work, we numerically address how topological features interplay with many-body localized phases as well as the nature of the transition between a topological and a trivial state within the latter. We also show how second-order Floquet engineering can be employed to realize systems in which many-body localization coexists with topological properties in a driven system. This allows one to implement and dynamically control a symmetry protected topologically ordered qubit even at high energies, overcoming the road block that the respective states cannot be prepared as ground states of nearest-neighbor Hamiltonians.
