Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
  1. A man with low IQ becomes a subject in an experiment that promises to increase intelligence. The book is written in a journal form and chronicles the transformation. Whether you will enjoy the book comes down to your motivations coming in. I read this book primarily because I find the the topic of increasing intelligence / superintelligence to be interesting. Hence I enjoyed the first half of the book. Unfortunately, the book later turns into something more similar to a drama, having little to do with scifi and more with human relationships. However, if you're only looking for a good story with a fun speculative added element and a hint of philosophy then you might just enjoy it! 3/5

  2. A man undergoes a procedure to increase his intelligence. Inventive, clever, interesting.
