I’ve read [i]A Universe From Nothing[/i]. It’s not bad but I’ve read better books on cosmology and quantum physics. If you like Sam Harris you should listen to his podcast “waking up with Sam Harris”. It covers some quite controversial topics and it’s sometimes worth a listen. I do find I disagree with a lot of what he says though. If you’re into popular science I would recommend the following: [i]Guns, Germs and Steel[/i] by Jared Diamond - A book everyone should read. It’s about the reasons civilisation developed in some paces and not others. How climate and local plant/animal life in a region can radically change how a culture develops. Also check out [i]The Third Chimpanzee[/i] by the same author. It’s about human evolution. [i]The Selfish Gene [/i]by Richard Dawkins - About how our genes drive our behaviours to ensure their own survival and replication. [i]The Elegant Universe[/i] by Brian Greene. An easy to understand book about string theory and quantum mechanics. Written for people that don’t know much about the subject. But it’s about 10 years old now so the science is probably out of date.
