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.

"Yes, after the fishing in the morning I'd like to visit the Museum<br />

of the Beautiful Arts or the library of the academy... Most of all, I'd<br />

like to get back home..."<br />

"So you don't like it here after all? And I'm doing everything, dear<br />

Peter, for you to feel good, please believe me."<br />

"I am very grateful for everything, prince. But I'm longing for my<br />

wife and am concerned. If at least there was a radio<br />

communication."<br />

"Sadly, it was only this morning that I was told that the cosmic<br />

storms still go on so any connection is completely impossible."<br />

At the same time, July got instructions for the last changes of<br />

her course.<br />

The whole night, Peter rolled sleepless in his bed.<br />
