This off-topic item refers to people with major achievements in fields such as engineering, science, and mathematics. Here's my picks:

Eric Drexler for his work on molecular nanotech. His book, Engines of Creations, is mind-blowing.
Robert Freitas for his work on molecular nanotech. The breadth of his multi-volume book, Nanomedicine, is impressive.
Richard Stallman for promoting Free Software.
