Amazon's page for this book:
http://www.amazon.com/TIME-Influential-People-Never-Lived/dp/1618930710 allows you to look inside to see the table of contents and therefore the full list.
The one which stuck out for me was Big Brother from 1984.
Some of the more recent ones are silly. Lisabeth Salander? Don Draper? Bother are interesting characters, but will they still be considered important in ten years?
