Why, oh why, does Eve make Julie take on questions that no person on the planet wants to be forced to think through out loud on air? (Three guesses who wrote this description.) The question this time: Is there free will? Julie's answer: ....  Never mind. Skip Julie's answer and go straight to Eve's discussion of what professor of biology and neuroscience Robert Sapolsky has to say on the topic in his latest book, Determined, A Life of Science Without Free Will. Then stay for talk of additional books Eve and Julie have read and enjoyed recently, including Sarah Polley's memoir, Run Towards the Danger, which Julie found particularly thought-provoking and memorable and Eve now wants to read, too.
