Oxygénia
In the year 3069, space farer Peter MacGulliver who is used to a happy life on a healthy and clean planet Earth strands on a planet which environment is completely ruined by heavy pollution, where there isn't even any oxygen left in the atmosphere and where billions of humanoid beings have to live with gas masks and rationed oxygen for their whole life – Oxygénia. On his long way to escape this living nightmare, Peter has to get to know all three major layers of the society of Oxygénia: Trunk Bearers, Rememberers and the "upper ten thousand" (one hundred lineages with one hundred members), the last ones living in a literal paradise and sheer luxury on the expense of all others. There are also some refugees and renegades amongst the Rememberers... can Peter escape Oxygénia, get back to his spaceship and his wife who is waiting there for him? This novel is a grim dark vision of what can very well become of Earth if mankind goes on the way it has done for the last few centuries. Today, there are already structures on Earth similiar to the dreadful "Oxygénia Trust" with its one hundred lineages, "elites" who don't bother about the fate of billions of other humans; there is pollution and climate change which is both very well capable of turning Earth into Oxygénia if our species doesn't change the set course very soon. See what the future might be like, and let's hope and take actions that it's not too late already, that we still can get off the path we're on to now – the path to Oxygénia.

"So you know I came from Earth?"<br />
"Yes, we now it."<br />
"And that my spaceship had an accident?"<br />
"Yes."<br />
"And what happened to my wife?"<br />
"She is aboard the spaceship. She is fine!" Peter felt his heart<br />
beat in his throat.<br />
"Do you have a regular radio connection to her?"<br />
The man smiled unfathomable.<br />
"Regular? No, I can't say that. Due to atmospheric interferences,<br />
no radio connection is possible at the moment."<br />
"And can I... may I hope to get help in getting linked with my<br />
wife? May I hope to get help to get back to the spaceship?"<br />
"Of course", the young man replied, smiling. "That's why we<br />
asked you to come here."<br />
The car was approaching the summit of the mountain. The<br />
winding road led through a giant park. If even possible, the trees<br />
and flowers were even more magnificient here. Amidst of waterfalls,<br />
ponds and fountains, hundreds of sculpturs appeared. Peter had<br />
noticed garlands of fresh flowers on other statues already before.<br />
One of the statues looked strikingly similiar to his host.<br />
After he had admired the twentieth or thirtieth of this sculptures<br />
and had diverted his attention between the statues and the young<br />
man next to him, the latter smiled humbly and a bit embarrassed.<br />
"My dear Peter, <strong>Oxygénia</strong> is a kingdom. Our recent monarch is<br />
Benefactor XIII, whose firstborn son I am. My name is Warrior, and<br />
one day, I will reign by the name Benefactor XIV. ..."<br />
Peter looked at him, surprised. On Earth, not a single king<br />
reigned anymore since a thousand years. Was it possible that this<br />
friendly and open minded man would be the future ruler of this<br />
contradictory and incomprehensible planet? Had the brains of ORO<br />
and ON been programmed on his command? Struggled the Trunk<br />
Bearers for breath due to his actions? Did the beings hide in the<br />
cave from him? From him, who's giving him a ride in his<br />
comfortable car... giving a ride, but where?<br />
As if it was an answer to his thoughts, the car stopped.<br />
"If you wish, a separate house is at your disposal... or if you want<br />
to content with an appartement in my humble home..."<br />
The "humble home" was a dream castle. The prince gave him a<br />
wink. Peter got out of the car and stopped in front of the main<br />
entrance.<br />
