"Modern" pop sci books? (hexbear.net)

Are there any good books like A Brief History of Time that include relatively recent findings? I read a few focused on string theory in the mid-2000s but that turned out to be bunk. Really looking for bleeding edge theoretical physics and the like but interested in all science and math stuff.

"Reality Is Not What It Seems" by Carlo Rovelli might be along the lines of what you're looking for. It gets pretty heady, especially toward the end, but it gives a good pop overview of more recent investigations into quantum gravity.
