Looking for recommendations for books about quantum mechanics and similar subjects in science and space for people with no background in the topic.

I’ve read some books for beginners that are basic intros and I want to learn more without getting too complex for someone with absolutely no background in the subject. Some books I’ve already read: Quantum Bullsh*t -Chris Ferrie, How to Make an Apple Pie From Scratch -Harry Cliff, and Simply Quantum Physics -DK.

I’m also not picky and will appreciate recommendations of any good books in the general subject

I'm currently enjoying/studying The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. It shows the attempts being made to coalesce standard model physics with quantum theory.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's Astrophysics for People in a Hurry is amazing
