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.

It was night again. With difficulty and need, they made a camp in<br />
the artifical brushwood. The sky above them was dark, but between<br />
the branches of the bushes, light from city could be seen now and<br />
then. At night, artifical light shone from the stores and restaurants.<br />
They laid there silent and sleepless.<br />
ON closed his eyes and opened them again.<br />
He tried to remember.<br />
From there, the light shone... accordingly, in this direction the<br />
entrance, the canyon had to be...<br />
In his tortured, mutliple times operated brain, waves of rage and<br />
hatred formed.<br />
Why can't I remember clearly and exactly? What did they do to<br />
me? What is done to each and every single one?<br />
He laid there with open eyes and watched the lights of the city<br />
while thinking of the bright and asking eyes of his son. And<br />
suddenly, he calmed down and felt new confidence.<br />
"Let's start, Peter. Now I'll find it."<br />
"We can go, ON. But around us are elevations, steep lava walls,<br />
rocks."<br />
"Let's trust our luck."<br />
They agreed to walk on the outer site of the brushwood, at the<br />
edge of the steep cliff and bypass the city. They rolled the spool of<br />
the moon ladder before them so their feet got a hold without<br />
slipping. 'Like Ariadne's thread', Peter thought, and once again<br />
Earth came to his mind, his dear, beautiful home, with its peaceful<br />
areas, its happy humans, its fairy tales and its beauty...<br />
