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.

This was the message, the order, the vital news, only it needed to be<br />
understood, to be deciphered. 'Code number Three... Code... what<br />
code?' Nervously, Peter watched the flickering images... time was<br />
running, the video was playing, but he...<br />
He looked into the bag, looked at the breather and the<br />
instruments. Where could the key to the secret be? What did he<br />
have to adjust, where to turn? ... Instintively, he grabbed at his<br />
pockets where he had put the small thing that looked like a glasses<br />
case. And inside of it – that was the surprise – he found something<br />
like glasses indeed: it really looked almost like glasses, but the<br />
actual glasses were made from an extremely thin, shining material.<br />
These gleaming discs were framed by an elastic frame and could be<br />
turned inside of it. With each turning, a number lit up between<br />
them. 'One... two... three...' Peter stopped at the number Three and<br />
put the strange thing on his nose. He looked up. The screen on the<br />
dashboard was unexpectedly clear. Instead of just green, there were<br />
hundreds of bright colors and lights: it was the map of <strong>Oxygénia</strong>.<br />
And now, the voice explained clearly and comprehensible.<br />
... and now a chart... Watch it very carefully...<br />
What might have been at the beginning of the video? How could<br />
he rewind it, restart it, watch it again from the beginning?<br />
You need to fly along the blue marked route. And there is the<br />
landing place of the aircraft...<br />
A strange image, the control panel of an airlock system. Now, a<br />
map of a tunnel system followed. A silver arrow and a silver circle<br />
became visible.<br />
Here, the spaceship from Earth has landed.<br />
Has landed! So the spaceship "Humanitas" had already landed!<br />
Peters heart beated hard, and the blood hammered between his<br />
temples so he could barely concentrate on the information.<br />
Mind carefully: always the blue marked path.<br />
On the map, two points were marked overly clearly: the landing<br />
spot of his plane and the location of the spaceship "Humanitas"<br />
with the tunnel system between them. Moving pathways, tunnels<br />
and airlocks lit up in blue.<br />
In case of an emergency, code number six! In case of technical<br />
failures, of any unforeseen situation! In case of an emergency, code<br />
number six! ...<br />
Attention! You are now leaving the plane and are to go to the<br />
airlock on the right side...<br />
This is not true, this can't be true, things like this only happen<br />
in fairy tales: through the airlock on the right side, the way led to<br />
