What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.

I’d like to read something different where we’re the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender’s Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.

Do you have any recommendations?

    Came to recommend this. In Ian M Banks’ Culture series, the main “Culture” are quite advanced, indeed with post-scarcity living and guardian AIs possible. We see “The Culture” working to subtly recruit less advanced civilizations and modernize them.
