Beside the already mentioned Culture series and Deepness in the Sky, I can recommend the Revelation Space saga.

Some of the later books in the Culture series (most directly The Hydrogen Sonata) deal with civilizations trying to get a leg up on the galactic tech ladder by scavenging the leavings of older civilizations that have "sublimed" and left the physical realm.
