SUBSTITUTION

Take a short story - a modern science fiction classic - by a talented author.

Select a single word from said story. Substitute a different word for it. Do the exact same thing every time that first word occurs.

You now have a new, completely perverse version of a story that was perverse enough (in its own way) to begin with.

Now, go see what Kevin Kim has gone and done to Terry Bisson’s “They’re Made Out Of Meat.”
