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.

42 – The successful attack<br />
Peter got away a few steps from the car. There was no doubt: he<br />
was at the entrance of the secret airport. Another fact was that<br />
according to the radio instructions, someone (or maybe more?)<br />
would arrive here with the order to bring July here. He had to<br />
switch his device to receive... no, first of all, he had to let his car<br />
disappear. Anyone getting here would instantly catch attention of<br />
the snow white car.<br />
Behind one of the fountains was a lush banana grove. The way<br />
descended very gently. Peter collected all his strength to push the<br />
huge car. He was surprised when the car rolled so easily as if it<br />
would have no weigth at all. A few minutes later, it was covered by<br />
the thick green branches.<br />
Now, he could get to receive without worries.<br />
He laid down beneath the orchid bushes, only a few meters away<br />
from the airport's entrance, hidden in the thick flower brushwood of<br />
a thousand colors, and pressed the device to his ear.<br />
He heard numbers, orders, signals and commands on a hundred<br />
diverse wave lengths. Unrestly and with tensed attention he tried to<br />
find out which of the many messages could affect their fate.<br />
This is Central Control!<br />
I'm back.<br />
Take pictures of the spaceship "Humanitas". Until further<br />
instructions, leave the vessel at the landing spot. All instruments and<br />
equipment is to be taken from the being from Earth. Bring up alive,<br />
sedate if necessary. Further instructions on the handheld device.<br />
Code number three. You'll break through the ion curtain at 11.38,<br />
radio connection will get lost.<br />
Do not shield zone A-B!... "Humanitas", get in, "Humanitas"!<br />
This is "Humanitas", this is "Humanitas"! What is it with my<br />
husband?<br />
Your husband is doing better!<br />
I want to talk to him.<br />
As you wish. We put through.<br />
Peter! Beloved! It's July!<br />
This is Peter! Dearest July, I can't wait to see you again. I'm<br />
longing to see you! Stick exactly to the instructions!<br />
The world spun around Peter. He heard his own voice clearly and<br />
sharply. Was this a result of <strong>Oxygénia</strong>s hellish technology? Or had<br />
all his previous talks been recorded and the answers now been put<br />
together from those? Or had they stored the sound of his voice in<br />
