Gents, need help.
I thought there was a book out there, fairly new, titled "The Myth of Free Will" or something. It's an evolutionary take on how we don't really have as much free will as we imagine.
Can't find it, though. Anyone heard of it?

If you're talking about the myth of "free will" in theological terms of man's ability to choose his own salvation, I highly recommend [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0800753429/qid=1078175161//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-6861786-7698365?v=glance&s=books&n=507846]The Bondage of the Will[/url] by Martin Luther. Luther said that if all his works were destroyed, this is the one he would want to survive. This is a classic work on the nature of manââ¬â¢s will after the fall.
The book is also available online [url=http://www.truecovenanter.com/truelutheran/luther_bow.html]here[/url] for free.

Judging by the title, it sounds like it would be a must read for libertarians. I've been looking for a good small article for posting on forums that gives some enlightenment to the power of suggestion and how vulnerable we are to it. Mass media/Hollywood has kept it a secret too long.
