Kim Peek is a megasavant. It's a well-known fact that the 1988 film, Rain Man, is based on Peek's life and abilities. His brain is capable of remembering just about anything it has ever come across. When he was a child, Peek would read books, memorize them completely, and then put them upside down on his bookshelf to show he was done. It has been reported that he can recall the entire contents of approximately12,000 books from memory.
