I would agree with your goal but disagree with your method in that taking a story and having a computer run an extensive search and replace algorithm to jargonize the story and make it less accessible makes the goal of new and interesting thoughts less achievable.

Since you're familiar with the book, and it comes up as a classic of soft sci fi vs hard sci fi as the ultimate soft sci fi example, there's a specific part of the plot where the author search-n-replaced "plain old rotary telephone" with "videophone" without altering the plot which uses shiny to distract from the story, and confuses the reader because it makes a little hole in the plot where the videophone users act like telephone users who can't see each other or their surroundings.

You can't turn SiaSL into a better contemporary hip urban drama merely by adding a bunch of slang and S+R the videophone as per above into "iPhone". Or turn it into a better medieval fantasy by S+R the videophone into a crystal ball. If he had just written something like "Be not content" as a contemporary 1950s/60s/70s hippie adventure without the interference of soft sci fi jargonizing it would have been an even better book.

TLDR is usually search and replace soft sci fi jargonizes and obfuscates without adding any depth to the story, and usually causing some damage to the plot consistency.

Usually this is where examples like The Moon is a Harsh Mistress or the TOS star trek Doomsday Machine episode get brought up as great examples of sci fi where S+R was not used and the applied tech cooperates with the human story in a consistent manner instead of being shiny but conflicting with the plot. Would it have been a better story to S+R the trek episode as a medieval adventure, no it would have sucked.
