The hand of Mlodinov can be seen in the introduction of lighter paragraphs to give the reader a break, the way Asimov used to do. Also Mlodinov got to know Feynman (whose work is mentioned extensively in the book) personally when he was a post-doc researcher at Caltech. In this line is worth checking his book Feynman's Rainbow, which is more about the researchers themselves and turning points in life.

Also, you have classics like Paul Davies's The Runaway Universe or Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

If you are interested in the quantum theory, in particular, a good book to check is Jim al-Jalili's Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed.
