He also originated and published a paper on "The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics" (TIQM) in July 1986, which is inspired from the Wheeler–Feynman Time-symmetric theory. His book on quantum mechanics, "The Quantum Handshake: Entanglement, Nonlocality and Transactions" (2015), published by Springer Verlag, is a comprehensive introduction to the transactional interpretation. Cramer's published novels consist of "Twistor" (1989) and "Einstein's Bridge" (1997); both within the hard science fiction genre. Link to Wikipedia biography
