Told largely through Charlie's progress reports, the novel explores intelligence, identity, loneliness, friendship, dignity, and what it means to be human. As Charlie's understanding of the experiment and its consequences develops, the story raises important questions about scientific ambition, human relationships, and the way society treats people who are different.
