To quote the first post in the linked thread

Pretend you're a careless typesetter making up a list of SF novels and
stories. How much havoc can you wreak by changing, adding or removing just
one letter?

Change One Letter:
_A Lizard of Earthsea_
_The Wombs of Atuan_
_The Farthest Spore_
All by Ursula Le Guin

Add one letter:
_Strangler in a Strange Land_ by RAH
_The Scarf_ by China Mieville

Remove one letter:
_Sow Crash_ by Neal Stephenson

Incorrectspa cing is also OK:
_Stars Hip Troopers_

But combining two or more errors is right out:
_Look to Win dwarf_ by Iain M Banks.

Give yourself extra points if your version of a title is particularly in
or out of tune with public perceptions of the author's politics, or with
what actually happens in the book.
