Mr. Nobody Plot Summary

What happens in Mr. Nobody from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 2092, humanity has conquered mortality, and the world watches as 118-year-old Nemo Nobody, the last mortal, edges toward death. A weary psychiatrist, Dr. Feldheim, uses hypnosis to coax Nemo into recalling his life, while a diligent journalist probes his memories. Nemo’s recollections come in three distinct life periods—ages 9, 15, and 34—each offering a differently shaded version of his story. He speaks of a pre-birth belief that children know what will happen to them, only to suggest that, at conception, the Angels of Oblivion erase that knowledge. He hints that the angels somehow missed him, granting him the eerie possibility of remembering several futures.
