I really enjoyed The Nothing That Is by Robert Kaplan. It's about the history of the concept (and the numeral) zero.
Possibly I should add that I read that when I was quite young (13ish?) and haven't reread since. It doesn't contain anything remotely resembling advanced maths - it's definitely about history and the philosophy of the concept. I obviously found it memorable though, so although the writing may have been so terrible I didn't notice at 13, it's unlikely.
