What should the humanities read in physics?

Question

Physics

I teach computer science at a humanitarian university. I don’t load students heavily. My subject is not specialized. For the offset, he gave the task to everyone to read the book "A Brief History of Time", however, a wave of protests of the type was too incomprehensible. Recommend any non-fiction book on a similar subject. The main criterion is the clarity and interestingness of the presentation.
Informatics in its purest form is not needed. We need some literature that students will not forget at least tomorrow. Please advise something.

Answer 1

If the humanities, then give Perelman's entertaining physics) In general, why do they need physics if you teach computer science, and even not a specialized subject?

Answer 2

Fuck, what kind of students have they gone ... "a brief history of time" is not clear to them .... oh * wow !! In the USSR, they would have been given quantum mechanics in full with tensors, operators and state vectors !
