Free will seems like a pretty boring topic to me. The main recent activity I have noticed in the area was Daniel Dennett’s “Freedom Evolves” book. That book was pretty boring and mostly wrong—I thought. It was curious to see Daniel Dennett make such a mess of the subject, though.
As it happens, I’m reading through Freedom Evolves right now; up to chapter 3, and while I don’t quite buy his ideas on inevitability, it so far doesn’t strike me as a mess?

I liked the bit on memes. Most of the rest of it was a lot of word games, IMO.
