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.

Trust. According to it, it would be the biggest of insanity to get into<br />
giant expenses, besides, cleaning of the biosphere would already be<br />
hopeless after all. On the contrary, things should be left going as<br />
they went. And so it happened that the <strong>Oxygénia</strong> Trust immediately<br />
bought all building sites in the Great High Mountains, the complete,<br />
still uninfested space still suitable for human settlement. There,<br />
they began to build cities. And this way, it was their free choice<br />
where to give the single one a place. Can you still follow me?"<br />
"To a certain degree", Peter replied.<br />
"Well... if I could remember exactly... but the essentials... I still<br />
know the essentials... The Trust decided that in the hills of the<br />
Great Continent, the Cities of the Rememberers were erected. The<br />
first settlers could move in there... and they also got oxygen. In<br />
exchange, they had to work for it. They planned the other cities, the<br />
concrete blocks, the machines and the computers."<br />
"And which way the population was forced in those dull cube<br />
cities?"<br />
"Forced?" On laughed bitterly. "I learned from the booklet that<br />
the fugitives from the cities at the infested coast sides pleaded on<br />
their knees to be allowed to move in the new cities. They threw<br />
themselves to the ground out of sheer gratitude when given the<br />
oxygen masks, and they were glad to be let working for oxygen tabs<br />
and breathing on the godly umbilical cord. Meanwhile, all life<br />
became extinct in the cities left behind, even the trees and the<br />
birds... But why? Why? Was there really no rescue for the old cities?<br />
Has it been Gods will indeed? Or more that of the Trust? Who is<br />
this Trust? What is this Trust? And why it isn't allowed that<br />
everyone is thinking with all abilities of his brain? Whom this would<br />
hurt? Would it be of any harm at all? The booklet has whipped up<br />
all my unrestly thoughts all the more. I'm sitting at the desk and<br />
solve mathematical problems, but why, on whose orders? This was<br />
what I was thinking about... thinking about... when the indicator<br />
lamp lit up... My oxygen is draining... I'm suffocating..."<br />
