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?
The whole Hainish Cycle from Ursula K Le Guin may fit here, in the sense that all human-like ‘aliens’ are the offsprings of the colonies planted by a primitive human civilization.
