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.

more reddish, then more blueish, then a reddish brown, now blue<br />
again and became now darker, then brighter. What might be going<br />
on on <strong>Oxygénia</strong>? Had the locks been opened? And what about the<br />
beings?<br />
On the fourth day, they unxpectedly received a radio call, but it<br />
wasn't the interplanetary station "Fortuna-710". The transmission<br />
was in the language of <strong>Oxygénia</strong>.<br />
This is <strong>Oxygénia</strong>... the City of the Rememberers... Good friends are<br />
hailing the spaceship "Humanitas".<br />
This is "Humanitas"... This is "Humanitas"...<br />
We want to thank you for everything... The locks have been<br />
opened... The radio Central Control has been conquered... The ion<br />
curtain doesn't exist anymore... We have air... We have air... We have<br />
air...<br />
This is "Humanitas"... This is "Humanitas"... We are so glad to<br />
hear this... We wish you the best of luck... We won't forget you... May<br />
the sky be with you, ON... I will always think of you, dear ORO... We<br />
wish you good luck... Breathe freely...<br />
The spaceship "Humanitas" was now receding from <strong>Oxygénia</strong> at<br />
full speed. The radio signals became weaker and weaker; another<br />
transmitting station, the relay station of Earth Sors Bona-300,<br />
overlaid them with its call.<br />
This is "Sors Bona"... This is "Sors Bona"...<br />
This is "Humanitas", everything is fine, we're on our way back<br />
home to Earth.<br />
"I forgot something", July said.<br />
"And that is?"<br />
"You had asked for something to drink before you left."<br />
Peter laughed, and they hugged each other.<br />
And the spaceship flew along with them, towards their home, to<br />
the dear old Earth, with its blue sky, its blue seas, its snow white<br />
cities where flowers were blooming in the parks, where humans<br />
lived happily and in peace, where one can breathe freely in clear air.<br />
