You should read "What's Expected Of Us" by Ted Chiang. Or perhaps you already have. It explores exactly this concept. For what it's worth, I don't believe we have what people would call free will. Our brains operate either in an entirely deterministic universe, in which case everything was decided and your choices are not in any sense free, or we're in a universe with intrinsic randomness, and randomness doesn't make free will either. I'm aware of the philosophy of Compatibilism, but this is just a sleight of hand to keep believing in some undefinable concept of free will.
