My latest book read was the short science fiction story titled Flowers for Algernon, written by Daniel Keyes. This is a story about a man with a low IQ who is given an experimental surgery that quickly raises his IQ to super genius level. As the man's IQ rises, he finds himself more and more disconnected with the people in his life. The rise in IQ is temporary and than starts to decrease, bringing the man back in touch with those around him. The story is also about how those around him view him as his IQ changes. A beautifully written and wondering science fiction short story that I highly recommend!
