I basically don't read much pop sci anymore because they are almost always bad, and the science from the good ones is better read unfiltered through papers and the journals do a good job of making authors declare conflicts of interest.

It is the worst when these books are not written by people with scientific training because they are more likely to make logical errors or use motivated reasoning to push a narrative.
