About the book
Charlie Gordon, an intellectually disabled man with an earnest desire to learn, undergoes an experimental surgical procedure designed to artificially increase human intelligence. Following the successful trial on a laboratory mouse named Algernon, Charlie's intellect expands rapidly until he surpasses the doctors who transformed him. However, when Algernon begins an irreversible mental decline, Charlie realizes his own genius is fleeting.
