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.

to. But sadly, this fight was in vain. Even if the majority of the<br />
reasonable scholars and engineers adhered to this holy duty, they<br />
consumed unnecessary energy for keeping themselves disciplined<br />
and thus wasted oxygen. According to the encephalographs taken at<br />
random times, they fought a continuous fight against their<br />
wandering and drifting thoughts. The continuous checks were<br />
expensive and difficult, and the results showed that, induced by the<br />
precious oxygen, in most scholar's brains there were superfluous<br />
thoughts, even dangerous and malicious ones for the order of<br />
<strong>Oxygénia</strong>.<br />
The court physician of the aforementioned king Benefactor VIII. –<br />
back in this time, healing hadn't been an exclusive task to<br />
machines – so the court physician, named The Genius by history,<br />
discovered the simplest and best method to resolve this issue. The<br />
brain of the beings doesn't use its full capacity even when fully<br />
supplied with oxygen. So we determine the most valuable part of<br />
the brain according to the results delivered by the very careful<br />
examinations performed by the instruments, and we stimulate that<br />
part. The oxygen supply of the other parts, however, is reduced to a<br />
minimum. The activitiy of the parts supplied with plenty of oxygen<br />
is increasing; excellent thoughts, ideas and crisp logic resolves are<br />
born from it. How much that is the case indeed is proven by the<br />
unbelievable technical progress of our economy and science since<br />
the reign of Benefactor VIII. The other parts of the brain, the<br />
subdued ones, will of course live on, but don't produce thoughts,<br />
they perform their vegetative functions automatically, but don't<br />
disturb the specific thoughts which are directed towards one single<br />
goal. The beings are balanced, happy, they have no worries, no<br />
disturbing thoughts. We care for their convenient living, and they<br />
thank us for it with great solutions of their assigned tasks. If you<br />
allow, I'll accompany you to the second control room from where<br />
you can watch these tasks. Controlling of the scholars is, of course,<br />
more strict than the one of the inhabitants of the servant cities.<br />
Those who are chosen for the Cities of the Rememberers get their<br />
personal NFC chip together with their brain screening. They present<br />
this NFC chip to the control machines at their working places, they<br />
open and close the doors of their houses with it, they can enter the<br />
restaurants with it, can shop with it, and according to the signals of<br />
our machines, they are to report to their brain checkups with it."<br />
"I don't understand this", Peter said.<br />
The director explained politely.<br />
