The Go Programming Language is a recent concise book that will give you a basic grounding in important CS stuff through the lens of a modern language. I'd say that will clarify loads of jargon.

I feel nervous that focussing on one language will only give me understanding within a narrow sphere. Is there a reason why Go is more broad reaching than others?

I'm not planning to be a coder but to at least have a fair understanding of modern tech as a whole.

I understand this is akin to saying "I wanna understand heapsa stuff" but at least getting advice from HNers will make this process more efficient.
