The History of Science Fiction by Adam Roberts is the only recent one I can think of. (Hmm, first edition was quite a way back. Maybe not that recent, although there was an update in the last decade.)
I also have a graphic novel: The History of Science Fiction: A Graphic Novel Adventure by Xavier Dollo and Djibril Morissette-Phan.
Maybe also interesting is Sense of Wonder: A Century of Science Fiction edited by Leigh Grossman, which is a very long anthology with articles. I'm not sure how available this one is at the moment.
There are more focussed (Astounding by Alec Nevala-Lee) or more scattershot but entertaining (Jo Walton's Informal History of the Hugos and What Makes This Book So Great?) books, but the above are the main ones I can think of.
