Science Fiction is an imaginative literary genre which poses the effects of extrapolated scientific principles or discoveries on the behavior of individuals or society. Old School refers to a time before the internet, CGI movies, and cable television, when most good science fiction (with a few TV and film exceptions) was published in books or magazines. This series highlights some great classic old school science fiction stories.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
(although it is a good place to work on the puzzle)
"Special Stuff" refers to key plot devices in the form of technology extrapolated from scientific principles (in other words, this is what keeps the geeks interested). Simply match the special stuff with its best description.
