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?
Definitely check this one out, OP. It’s fantastic.
“A Fire Upon the Deep” and “A Deepness in the Sky”, both by Vernor Vinge, are great too.
There’s also “Children of the Sky”, which focuses on the humans on the Tines world.
