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.

highlights of the festivities were stated: the parade of the royal<br />
guards (so something like this existed, too), a poetry competition, a<br />
dance evening, sports competitions and a hunt that went on for two<br />
days.<br />
The family names in the calendar translated into Earths<br />
language as such: Spruce, Loyalty, Wisdomer, Bighead, Glorious,<br />
Kindness, Beautiwell and more like that. And next to each name,<br />
the deeds and earnings of the family were stated, as well as of<br />
course the opulent program of their family celebration.<br />
"Which day may be today?", Peter said aloud.<br />
On the desk, the answer lit up: sixth day of the eleventh month.<br />
Namesake day of the Goldhair family.<br />
Peter searched the pocket calendar and found that princess<br />
Goldhair, the Successors bride, was to host a ball at eleven in the<br />
evening.<br />
Now he closed the calendar, and at that moment, the plate of the<br />
desk opened again, and a nice little package appeared. Inside it,<br />
there were invitations printed on gold shaped parchment paper.<br />
"Princess Goldhair has the honour to invite the man from Earth<br />
to her party", then there was an invitation by family Spruce to a fox<br />
hunt, an invitation for a tennis match, an inviation to the cocktail<br />
party of the Academy of Sciences. Invitation... Invitation...<br />
"Hmm, that is lovely indeed... But I'd rather stay here for only a<br />
short time", Peter mumbled to himself.<br />
He approached the window and looked outside. Above a<br />
wondrous garden of roses, firs and limes, the sky caved up dark<br />
blue. The stars sparkled, marvellous like diamonds. And the<br />
moons... Not only one moon, but one, two... seven out of twelve<br />
moons were now visible in the sky, shining silvery-golden, smaller<br />
and bigger crescent moons in seven spots of the firmament... and<br />
somewhere between them, a spaceship orbited the planet, the<br />
spaceship "Humanitas"...<br />
Peter looked at his finger, at Julys ring. Now, this was his one<br />
and only, his well kept secret – because inside the ring, a tiny radio<br />
device was implemented. But in this room where the computers<br />
always listened to every little noise, he couldn't make any use of it.<br />
Here, the control stations of <strong>Oxygénia</strong> would receive every<br />
transmission he attempted to send. And if he tried to receive Julys<br />
signals, the computers inside the room would hear it, and his hosts<br />
would get to know he still had a radio device with him. The only<br />
place where he could try to get the signals from "Humanitas" was at<br />
a very safe spot, if such one even existed, maybe outside... Where<br />
