Ender's Game:
Inspired my company: www.endergen.com. Who's goal it is make systems of play that augment intelligence as well as hopefully laterally solve world problems as you use them.
Frakenstein:
For the morality that you must take responsibility for the consequences of your inventions.
Cryptonomicon:
Inspired most of the work on endergen(See Ender's Game Above). Introduced me to the concepts of privacy/security implemented in technical form and the conflict between the two.
