This one because it shows that technology will make utopia possible.

I'm not a fan of 'popsci', but I found The Elegant Universe quite a fun read when I was a teenager - a book ABOUT science. If what you meant to ask was a different matter, say, a philosophical book on science, I'd say Kuhn's revolution was amazing (although I have come to disagree with many of his claim since I read it, I recommend Bird's book 'Kuhn' for a harsh critique), another great book is Objectivity by Daston & Galison, and a recent book that I can very much recommend is Systematicity by Hoyningen-Huene (a Kantian-Wittgenstenian approach to the demarcation problem).

The Echo Maker by Richard Powers was pretty interesting. It's about neurology but it refrains from the naive reductionist view of the brain that popular science books tend to forward.
