Flowers for Algernon is a science fiction novel written by Daniel Keyes. The story follows the life of Charlie Gordon, a mentally disabled man who undergoes an experimental surgery to increase his intelligence.
At the beginning of the novel, Charlie has an IQ of 68 and works as a janitor at a bakery. He is chosen to be the first human test subject for the surgery, which has previously been successful on a mouse named Algernon.
After the surgery, Charlie's intelligence begins to increase rapidly and he becomes a genius. He starts to remember traumatic events from his past and struggles with his newfound intelligence.
As the story progresses, Charlie's intelligence begins to decline and he realizes that the effects of the surgery are only temporary. He becomes determined to continue his research and find a way to maintain his intelligence.
The novel explores themes of intelligence, ethics, and the nature of humanity. It is a poignant and thought-provoking story that raises questions about the limits of science and the importance of human connection.
