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.

"I don't believe that there is another solution", ORO spoke up<br />
again, calmly. "Of course, it's a daring step. Once we directed the<br />
attention towards ourselves, if we tell that Peter is here, this could<br />
trigger an avalanche... And mostly, we're endangering Peter without<br />
even having an idea what's expecting him. But maybe they're<br />
already knowing everything anyway, maybe they're observing him<br />
for a long time already. That way, isn't it smarter to try to look the<br />
inevitable straight into the eye?"<br />
Peter went next to ORO.<br />
"If you are ready to do this, ORO, and are doing me that favour...<br />
If you can muster that courage... I am really grateful to you. I'm<br />
determined to get to this power, whoever it might be and wherever it<br />
is. I can't keep being idly any longer because I'm losing my mind<br />
since I don't know what happened to my wife... But I don't want to<br />
endanger you with this. If it should be very dangerous, I'm going<br />
away from here, keep walking the streets and try to get into every<br />
house until I'm getting caught by the security checks. I'll try to open<br />
every gate and get on every moving sidewalk. And whatever will<br />
happen to me, never I shall give the information about your cave or<br />
someone of you to anyone."<br />
"I hope the good fate has guided you here, Peter", ORO said and<br />
got up. The council was over.<br />
