Seems like you would have the best answer for this one, mate. Have at it.

As you can see in my reply, I wish there was a simple answer. But I'm afraid the field is so young there really isn't a great general purpose read. The more popular ones leave me wanting. The more research oriented ones are a slog. The problem is, I think, that the field is so young relative to something like physics so the general themes are hard to discern for everyone involved - generalists and specialists - to relay out to a wide audience.
