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.

41 – Spaceship "Humanitas" has landed!!!<br />
The Mirror Pond appeared like a sparkling silver mirror indeed.<br />
Everything mirrored in the smooth water, the fleecy clouds of the<br />
sky, the sunbeams, the leaves of the trees and the red roof of a<br />
lonely little fishermens hut. There was no wind, and the air was full<br />
of scents.<br />
The snow white car stopped. Peter looked for the fishing<br />
equipment, but didn't think of throwing the hook into the water. Far<br />
and wide, not a single soul was to be seen. Silvery fish swam<br />
guileless and careless in the lake, the sun shone sparkling, between<br />
the green leaves of the trees, purple, pink, white and red flowers<br />
bloomed.<br />
Peter laid under a bush into the grass and turned his ring. With<br />
eager attention, he pressed his ear to the little device.<br />
It seemed that the region of the Mirror Pond was especially<br />
suitable to receive because receiving on frequencies where no<br />
signals were heard before was possible. He noted orders,<br />
commands, signals, numbers, more orders and more commands...<br />
and, shocked, Peter realised that those signals and calls were<br />
related to his fate and the trap that was set for the spaceship<br />
"Humanitas".<br />
