K. Eric Drexler
Considered the father of nanotechnology, K. Eric Drexler popularized the possibilities tucked in the folds of reality at the nanoscale. He undertook his major work in the field in the 70s and 80s, and published a landmark book in '92 that split the case wide open. As nanotechnology improves and refines, we owe thanks to Drexler for his frontiersmen work.
