Hey tried to post this in the learning materials section but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Anyways, does anyone know if anyone's every written a popular science book (or a documentary) on condensed matter or semiconductors physics or transistors or exotic phases or what have you?

For those who had any interest in this but didn't know of any, Laughlin apparently wrote a pop sci book about emergence. However, it's apparently not very good.
