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?

Quit your laughing smartass. Some have said that sure. Doesn't make it fact or consensus. The guy was a fuckin American liberal socialist and then libertarian. Hardly goose-stepping. If you read the book it's pretty fuckin obvious that commiting genocide isn't Heinlein's favorite things after Nazi memorabilia.

If you read his other books, it's obvious he had strong political views one way or another. Not goddamn fascism.
