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.

The human beings, however, did not know that the Evil Bird was<br />
not sailing on the edema of God but on the edema of Satan and that<br />
all his words meant annihilation and destruction. In vain the kind<br />
father had warned the humans, in their hearts, curiosity,<br />
insatiability, unrest and envy nested in, and they made from palm<br />
leaves wings; from big fig leaves, they made sails, and they wanted<br />
to conquer the wind, the living and moving oxygen. And one catched<br />
away the air from the other, they fought and coughed, every one<br />
wanted to get higher, and as they already approached the nearest<br />
moon, The Lord sucked in the air, the wind died, the oxygen<br />
returned to Gods soul, the humans, however, fell down like grey<br />
clay figurines.<br />
But God had mercy with his dead creatures and said this: 'You<br />
have sinned, but I do not judge you to eternal doom. But from now<br />
on, I will decide how much oxygen you get, because you cannot take<br />
care on your own, and the good only serves you for the bad.'<br />
And the wind was gone, as was the Blue of the sky, und who did<br />
not put the godly umbilical cord, the life-donating nose protection,<br />
on the face but rather wanted to breathe without it, his lungs filled<br />
with scathing gases, with the breath of Satan, and he would die of a<br />
painful death.<br />
And because of the sins of the ancestors, the people of <strong>Oxygénia</strong><br />
gets its daily oxygen only according to the rules of justness and<br />
work and through the godly umbilical cord, which it is only allowed<br />
to rip one time a year for one day, for the Grand Spring Festival,<br />
when the godly mercy pulls open the curtain of the sky and our<br />
eyes can watch the brightness which we, at the end of time, after<br />
the arrival of the Messiah, can enjoy for all eternity. Amen."<br />
Stunned, Peter turned the page. After this religious lesson, the<br />
civil rights and duties followed.<br />
"I am a loyal citizen of <strong>Oxygénia</strong>. <strong>Oxygénia</strong> is my home.<br />
<strong>Oxygénia</strong> takes care of me. I get shoes and clothes, and I get as<br />
much of everything as I need. And I get the life-donating oxygen.<br />
For the oxygen, I have to work. The work is nice, easy and pleasant.<br />
If I work carefully according to the instructions, if I work good, I'm<br />
getting oxygen. This oxygen is mine, no one can take it from me.<br />
And I can accumulate oxygen supplies, as much as will fit in the<br />
bin. If I want, so much it will last for three days and three nights.<br />
What am I using the oxygen for?<br />
I need oxygen to live. I breathe oxygen.<br />
