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.

"Neither do I, majesty. It can't be understood at all. <strong>Oxygénia</strong>s<br />
security is based on the basic procedure that Central Control is<br />
only managing the connection between the Cities of the<br />
Rememberers and the servant cities under strictest control, using<br />
the Secret Path. The Secret Path, however, is only known to the four<br />
of us – at least that's what we thought until now. But after all that<br />
had happened, it has to be known, who knows to how many!"<br />
"The being from Earth could have found it by coincidence",<br />
prince Warrior said.<br />
"No, not in such a short time. And not without helpers", the king<br />
stated and shook his head.<br />
"The being could produce oxygen and also had food supplies, so<br />
it could set off. The servants or the Rememberers, however, could<br />
never overcome the way even if they knew about its existence."<br />
"Find, arrest and execute!", prince Valiant shouted. "And extend<br />
the range of our missiles. This is my suggestion, even if my dear<br />
brother, prince Warrior, has the opinion that <strong>Oxygénia</strong> is already<br />
completely safe with its actual missile defense system."<br />
"My dear brother doesn't know how this case went further on,<br />
but I do", Successor Warrior said icyly. "The being doesn't need to<br />
be found and arrested because it has reported on his own from the<br />
City of the Rememberers and is staying at my palace right as we<br />
speak. We brought it to Oxygenville on the Secret Flight Route.<br />
Here, we confiscated all its equipment and instruments. And it<br />
would be an utmost foolishness to execute it too soon because if so,<br />
we'd never get to know how his helpers were."<br />
"And if it doesn't confess who his helpers were?"<br />
"It will confess", Warrior said. "It will confess since it wants to get<br />
back to its spaceship. I will make it believe that we bring it back<br />
there. I welcomed it extremely friendly. We already smuggled<br />
euphoria drugs in his drink during the flight and subdued all its<br />
suspicion and uneasiness."<br />
"We spoil it, flatter it instead of..."<br />
"If my royal brother wishes for it, I forward the prisoner to him if<br />
I can serve <strong>Oxygénia</strong>s security better that way", Warrior replied.<br />
"Bah, what does the prisoner matter to me! Are we done?"<br />
"Soon, highness", Bighead said. "For the time during which we<br />
watch the lifeform, I'd like to recommend some new security<br />
measures. We should immediately have checked all schoolbooks,<br />
the entertainment literature and the TV broadcasts which we send<br />
in the servant cities, and let computers check the literature sent in<br />
the Cities of the Rememberers. Facts hint that they may contain<br />
