What are some good general books that would make you overall more educated on the topics of science?

So far i've read Cosmos and a few Richard Dawkins books, are there any other gems?

A general chemistry textbook
A calculus based university physics textbook
A C++ programming, data structures & algorithms textbooks
Textbooks covering the essential mathematics common to most sciences: Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, Complex Variables/Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Fourier Analysis, Numerical Analysis, and Special Functions.

Once you're done you will have a foundation to start studying science.

What university has freshmen taking real and complex analysis? Like I get that you would do this if you were actually smart but it's far from typical

Really? Popsci bestsellers are science books now? You do understand how ridiculous a class based on any of these would be, right?

You got some nice suggestions in the thread like >>7618107, >>7613487, >>7612624, >>7612437

Why dont you try to start reading actual textbooks instead of novels "about" science which aren't real science?
