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?
A Deepness in the Sky shares the award of books I couldn’t finish along with Atlas Shrugged.
Why, if I may ask? I had trouble keeping reading about halfway through, when I learned about the antagonist’s character and methods (too brutal even for a fiction book, and he became one of my most hated fictional characters ever), but I also heard of people who aren’t too fond of spiders and had to put the book down. In that case, Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time wouldn’t be for them, either.
You got it in one. I want lasers in space, not rape fantasy porn.
