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.

"We don't purse any plans. You are a welcome guest to us. Our<br />
astronomic central does calculations, establishes a connection to<br />
your spaceship, and when it reaches an advantageous constellation,<br />
we'll bring you back aboard your ship, if I got it right, the<br />
"Humanitas". We'd like for you to feel well in the meantime, and will<br />
take care of your schedule. May I seek for your approval not to<br />
reject the request of the Academy of Sciences of <strong>Oxygénia</strong>? We<br />
would be grateful if you would like to hold some lectures about<br />
Earth to us. We infinitely value everything which extends our<br />
knowledge."<br />
"Of course, my pleasure", Peter answered.<br />
"For tonight, we are invited at my bride, princess Goldhair. It will<br />
be huge party. You are very welcome. You'll find the schedule of the<br />
evening at your room. If you want to take a walk or drive a car,<br />
please push the green button on the desk of your study. If at any<br />
time you want to talk to someone, just push the golden button. Of<br />
course, the translator will be working. Or do you wish for anything<br />
else?"<br />
"I just want to talk to my wife, to July..."<br />
"Of course, we will notify you immediately once the connection is<br />
established. And if you wish for anything else, it's enough to just<br />
speak it out aloud, the listening computers are at your service."<br />
