I share many of your views, and so I think you will enjoy Jean Bricmont’s “Making Sense of Quantum Mechanics”. The book clarifies there is no reason to doubt the pilot wave interpretation, or Bohmian mechanics.
For a more popular account that delves into the personalities of the physicists involved, I also recommend Adam Becker’s “What Is Real?: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics”.
Both books came to me via the reading list at https://bohmian-mechanics.net https://bohmian-mechanics.net.
- hilbert42 6y agoWell, thank you for that info, I'll definitely check both books out. Incidentally, I've nothing against popular accounts so long as they're not trivial or trite, I look forward to reading Becker. Moreover, I've often found that well written popular accounts not only tackle the subject matter from a different perspective to textbooks but also they can provide useful information that's not commonly available elsewhere. On several occasions I've had eureka moments reading such books long after I'd finished with the textbooks. Here, Roger Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind comes to mind. Also, I've ever so briefly checked the web link, I see there's hours of material there.
