Transrealism as outlined in his 1983 essay The Transrealist Manifesto is science fiction based on the author s own life and immediate perceptions mixed with fantastic elements that symbolize psychological change. Many of Rucker s novels and short stories apply these ideas. One example of Rucker s Transrealist works is Saucer Wisdom a novel in which the main character is abducted by aliens. Rucker and his publisher marketed the book tongue in cheek as non-fiction. Thanks to a grant from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Rucker taught math .
