Foundation screenshot with the word Exo written in blood.
Shout out to my publisher @diversionbooks.bsky.social. This isn't quite product placement in AppleTV+'s #Foundation, but getting the title of my SF murder mystery novel written in blood on screen in a premium SF show a year before it was even acquired, shows marvellous prescience & pre-order nous.
