Regarding the letter 'G', have you read any Buckminster Fuller? The densest prose I've ever seen or read. Have probably lost too many brain cells to try it now, but I used to read and understand his genius. Now that the internet exists, it's probably even available online.

I haven't read any of his written work but like everything I've seen about him. I've improved his Wikipedia article among others related to Karlis Johansons, tensegrity, geodesics, parabolic and tensile structures, etc.

For at least a decade I've been looking for verification of a quote by him along the lines of "Waste is just a resource we haven't found a use for." I want to add it to Wikiquote and popularize it.

His Dymaxion Car was ahead of its time too, a precursor to the Aptera.
