Ok, I’m not saying President Barack Obama is attempting to tell us something about the apocalypse through his seasonal reading lists, but I definitely think he’s dropping some strong hints. The former president has been posting his summer reading lists for public consumption while he was still in the White House, and quite a few of them are about the end of the world. On his list in 2016 was Seveneves, an 880-page novel by Neal Stephenson about the moon exploding and humanity panic-scrambling to avert extinction. From there, his lists include climatic catastrophe, social collapse, extinction level catastrophes, and a ballistic missile going right for Massachusetts.
