I’ve been hoodwinked too many times by well-reviewed pop-sci books which I later discovered to be hated by the actual scientists who do the work. Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku was the final straw 😆 Cheers!

Not exactly my discipline - I work in narrative - but A Theory of Fun by Raph Koster is probably the closest thing to a pop-sci book about game design.
