Kim Peek was an American savant known for his extraordinary memory and remarkable abilities in recalling vast amounts of information. Born on November 11, 1951, he had a unique brain condition that allowed him to memorize entire books and retain detailed facts about various subjects, including history, geography, and literature. Peek was often referred to as a "human computer" due to his exceptional skills. Peek's life inspired the character of Raymond Babbitt in the film Rain Man, which brought attention to savant syndrome. Despite his challenges with social interactions and motor skills, he became a celebrated figure, giving lectures and sharing his knowledge with others until his passing on December 19, 2009.
