are there any good, relatively contemporary, books on the current state/philosophical implications of physics/quantum mechanics?

You should know that quantum physics is a meme, and /sci/ is a better place to ask

Quantum Mechanics & Experience by David Albert, anon. I need to finish reading this too, it is a great read and approachable if you are a layperson.

Heisenberg wrote a book called Physics and Philosophy that might be what you’re looking for. It’s not really “contemporary” but neither is nonrelativistic QM. If you really care you’ll have to study actual physics, though, or else you’ll be condemned to a life of pseudery

I don't see why you shouldn't start with him. What would you recommend instead?
