Růže pro Algernon patří k nejinspirativnějším příběhům moderní literatury. Už od roku 1959, kdy se poprvé objevila jako krátká povídka posléze odměněná cenou Hugo, nejvyšším čtenářským oceněním v rámci fantastického žánru.

Od té doby se Růže pro Algernon objevila v nejednom filmovém i televizním zpracování, jako divadelní hra prošla nepřeberným množstvím rozmanitých zpracování po celém světě a mnohými i u nás, inspirovala řadu různě upravených příběhů, hudebních skladeb či alb a v posledních letech byla zpracována také jako francouzský film či jihokorejský a v minulém roce i japonský televizní seriál.
