My intention is not piss anyone off, but my first exposure to atheism was because I watched Chris Hitchens speak at Google. He lead me to Dawkins who literally blew my mind away. That lead to me reading a quite a bit more about the human condition in general, so, just for influencing my life so much, I'm going to pick Chris hitchens.

For those who like chess, the Garry Kasparov talk was very good. There's a little bit about making mistakes, taking risks, innovation and Russian politics, but perhaps as expected, it is heavy on some chess stories.
