Programming the Universe

Written by Seth Lloyd.
The author is a quantum computer scientist and an acknowledged expert on information theory, and the book presents a way of looking at the reality around us as an amalgamation of the two sciences. Along the way he explains some of the innate weirdness of the quantum world in a clear and concise (and non-mathematical) manner. If for nothing else the book is readable for the non technical discussions of the quantum world, but it contains a good look at the world of information theory as well.
