Consider Beyond Weird by Philip Ball.
“Philip Ball presents quantum mechanics as a set of conceptual puzzles that reach beyond the microscopic, favoring thought experiments and historical snapshots over equations. The writing aims to build intuition about probability, measurement, and entanglement without technical machinery. Most useful are the clear distinctions that help you question everyday assumptions about randomness and locality. Annoyances include repeated points and stretches of abstract argument that slow momentum for readers seeking experimental detail or concrete demonstrations.”
