Hah. This is the plot of "Existence" by David Brin.
In this book, civilizations are destroyed by crystals, containing computers running virtual realities for its inhabitants. The inhabitants subvert the civilizations, giving them technology to build these crystals, upload themselves into them, and then spend all the resources to spam the universe with these crystals.
