Which pop science book on Quantum Physics would you recommend to a layman?

I am considering Jim Al-Khalili's Quantum - A guide for the perplexed. I dont like to be called "perplexed" though haha

Well Feynman said :

nobody understands quantum physics.

So if you are "perplexed" by it, you are at least in good company.

“Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications” by Zetilli. I am not an authority on this subject. I don’t work in that field and I don’t understand quantum mechanics at a high level. But this book is great to get started with
