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.

Had he been killed? Had he been thrown down to the Trunk<br />
Bearers? What about ON? And which fate was waiting for him?'<br />
Except for him, no one sat on the tables with the colorful<br />
parasols. He felt as if he was safe here. Once again, he switched his<br />
tiny device to receive. Then, he waited for at least half an hour. A<br />
monotonous voice listed infinte amounts of numbers. There was no<br />
radio connection between July and the local station.<br />
He didn't feel in the right mood to return to the palace already,<br />
so he decided to take a stroll for half an hour and then try receiving<br />
once again.<br />
At the other end of the park, he noticed a bigger flock of children.<br />
Here, between deep rocky canyons, was a zoo. The animals could<br />
roam freely down there and where only separated by the steep rock<br />
walls. The kids happily looked down there, at the teddy-like, clumsy<br />
animals which trotted along slowly, and the tiger deer which<br />
jumped from one rock to another.<br />
Peter sat at the edge of a rock and switched his ring to receive.<br />
<strong>Oxygénia</strong> is hailing "Humanitas"...<br />
This is spaceship "Humanitas"... I'm reading you, he heard Julys<br />
voice which he held so dear.<br />
Course correction is necessary... Set preparations for landing...<br />
I've set the preparations...<br />
Peter began to shake, and his whole body began to break out in<br />
sweat.<br />
