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.

49 – Interrogation at the king<br />
His Majesty Benefactor XIII. only rarely used his throne hall, only<br />
at formal receptions or at New Years Day when receiving the<br />
traditional well wishes of the Hundred Lineages at best.<br />
Bighead was affected when the two officers told him he had to<br />
report before the royal Council. Beside king Benefactor XIII, only<br />
the two princes Warrior and Valiant were present.<br />
The interrogation was short.<br />
How he would explain that he entered a plane from which he had<br />
to know that its door opened and closed automatically and that its<br />
route could not be altered from the inside of the plane? Why he<br />
hadn't alerted the security measures of the airport as soon as he<br />
had noticed a divergence from the program?<br />
Bighead fell silent, affected. All of this he had to know already as<br />
a child.<br />
The king waved, and prince Valiant handed the report of Central<br />
Control to Bighead.<br />
When thirty minutes after the scheduled arrival of Bighead and<br />
July at her assigned quarters still no report had been sent to<br />
Central Control, they started to search for him via radio. There had<br />
been no answer. Central Control found the car of Wise Knight,<br />
parking according to the rules, in front of the secret airport. The<br />
records of the airport showed that the aircraft from the City of the<br />
Rememberers had arrived right on time and, after a short wait,<br />
returned there.<br />
The instruments stated that one passenger was aboard the<br />
plane. Without delay, an examination was started as to maybe<br />
something with the doors mechanism was wrong, because at first, it<br />
was assumed that Wise Knight and July were aboard (or only one of<br />
them??) and that the aircraft because of a technical failure had<br />
flown back with its passengers to the starting point. It remained<br />
incomprehensible where Bighead had remained and why the Wise<br />
Knight didn't reply from the aircraft to any hail. During the flight,<br />
the programming of the plane couldn't be altered so they needed to<br />
wait until it had landed in the City of the Rememberers, and from<br />
there, it was ordered back to Oxygenville by a new programming.<br />
The plane arrived there safely. Two officers of the Royal Guards<br />
were expecting it at the airport. Through the opening door, they<br />
pulled the tumbling, half-unconscious Council Member Bighead<br />
outside. Of Wise Knight or the female being from Earth, there was<br />
no trace.<br />
