Schrödinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality is a 1995 book by John Gribbin, in which he attempts to explain the mysteries of modern quantum mechanics in a popular-scientific way. It is a sequel to his earlier book, In Search of Schrödinger's Cat which was published in 1984.
In his epilogue Gribbin touches on the most recent developments (at the time of writing) of string theory , and introduces the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics as the new "mythology" of our time. His argument does not refute the theory, but demonstrates how all theories can be true and mythological (depending on your perspective).
