I wanted to catch up on the latest theories in quantum mechanics without the detail (I haven’t looked at math like that in a long, long time). This book was quite nice. It read pretty easily but also conveyed some very complicated ideas (like D-brane theory). If you want a condensed, meant-for-normal-people look at high- and low-energy physics, this is a good choice. Mr. Krauss also wrote a couple of books debunking / explaining the physics of Star Trek.
