Before a poignant ending, both Charlie and Algernon develop super-intelligence. The story originally won the Hugo Award for Best Short Fiction and the Nebula Award for Best Novel, awarded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. In 1968, it inspired the movie "Charly," which won Cliff Robertson the Best Actor Oscar for the title role.
