  Decoding the Universe
This book was a fun two-day read. No pretense at groundbreaking science- just a pleasant revisionist history of modern physics as if it has always been leading up to the inexorable conclusion:

information is the basic building block of the universe.

Seife uses a lot of words like "grim" to describe this conclusion, which is a little annoying, but I still thought it was fun.
