You might like the book Determined by Robert Sapolsky. It’s very dense and I haven’t gotten far into it yet but it’s about the science of free will.

humans are buildings, and just like buildings have plumbing and wire, humans live not alone: we have a huge number of parasites in our intestines and a large number of ideas in our brains that join us in our journey. i wonder how much of our actions are actually our own, and how many are caused by our circumstances.
