Ask HN: What are some good general technical books for teenagers?

I'm a programmer by profession. I have a teenage daughter with a general interest in art and biology. She does well in math and science in school but isn't very enthusiastic about computers or technology.

I'd like to find some good general books about technical subjects for her. Unfortunately the selection at local bookstores is rather limited and their books are either too simplistic, too specific or both.

I know there are plenty of good programming books available but I'm not looking for books on programming per se as I already have a few shelves of books like SICP, TLoL, PiP, AMOP, etc. as well as more abstract works like GEB and she's shown no interest in those as of yet.

What I've been hoping to find is something that covers technology more generally: something that explains some interesting way a particular physical, chemical, mathematical or other technical principle appears in some network or system of machines and structures we build and maintain.

Can any similarly minded parents out there share any success stories?
