Here's an interesting Guardian review of Simon Sharpe's Five Times Faster: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/09/five-times-faster-by-simon-sharpe-review-a-radical-but-realistic-path-to-net-zero-emissions-rethinking-the-science-economics-and-diplomacy-of-climate-change

However this is perhaps an exception to the issue you point out.

To be honest, I think a lot of it boils down to the fact that only a small percentage of the world's most prolix wordsmiths know anything at all about science and technology--not just the nuts and bolts side but also the way that disruptive change is normal on the STEM side of life, e.g. from biplanes to jets in a single generation--whereas scientists and engineers, as we know, tend to be somewhat inarticulate.

In other words, it is a variation on the theme of the old problem of the two cultures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures.
