I'll recommend Kip Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Holes_and_Time_Warps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Holes_and_Time_Warps . It's about gravity, not quantum field theory, but it's still very sound, very intuitive and explains the principles of the LIGO gravity wave detector. Also contains a bit of speculation about the culture and psychology of scientific creativity which I thought was great. If you find a similar book on quantum phenomena, please post it!
