Sibusiso Sambo What mystery in my life could be a plot for a book?

I think the greatest mystery in my life is how a boy born in the rural heart of South Africa—surrounded by poverty, silence, and forgotten dreams—could one day become a voice calling for a new world.

There were no libraries, no access to the internet, no clear path to becoming a writer. And yet, something invisible kept pushing me: a deep sense that my pain, my questions, and my visions had meaning. That mystery—where does purpose come from when the world offers you nothing?—could be a story on its own.

Imagine a young man walking through dust, carrying books in his heart instead of in his hands, haunted by dreams he doesn’t understand. Along the way, he meets teachers, spiritual truths, and the technology of the future—all forming a strange equation that holds the key to rebuilding a broken world.

That’s not just a mystery. That’s the seed of The New Equation—and maybe, the plot of my life.
