Peter Leigh, more commonly known by the alias Nostalgia Nerd, is a British presenter, YouTuber, author and Twitch streamer, who documents and specialises in ageing technology and software. First appearing on YouTube in 2014, he routinely and enthusiastically explores forgotten computers and the technology surrounding them. He often specialises in historical documentaries on vintage computing, but also delves into technical explanations. Leigh also ventures into modern, mystery, explanation and more frivolous tech videos, with a humorous style and British wit. His book, The Nostalgia Nerd's Retro Tech, spent several months as a best-seller in the UK and USA. Covering a wide variety of retro systems with historical and gaming facts, it has been mentioned on the UK's Centre for Computing History's website and is a reference in the museum.
