The elevator pitch: Flowers for Algernon goes cyberpunk. Using a regimen of nootropics and VR, a scientist frankensteins the intelligence of his intellectually disabled gardener, transforming the man into a developmentally-enhanced super-being with the power to augment reality. We’d love to go on, but there are word limits. Trust us, you’ve never seen anything as haywire as this quotable masterpiece: “The mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to explore.”
