Forget planned obsolescence--the creators of these enduring technological
marvels built them to last (for better or worse).

Oooooh - The Dragon Never Sleeps is one of my very favorite books. It's been so long since I read it, I'm trying to decide if I want to risk those fond memories by reading it again.
A few that quickly came to mind:
Diaspar, from Clarke’s A City and the Stars/Against the Fall of Night
Culture - Banks (including whole civilizations that Sublimed and left stuff behind)
A Fire Upon the Deep - Vinge
Old Tech in the Liaden universe - Lee & Miller
Revelation Space universe; also Terminal World - Reynolds
The Expanse series - Corey
Humanx Commonwealth (Pip & Flinx) - Foster
