Do you shape the future, or does it shape you? What, or who, is in control? These questions have befuddled even the greatest of philosophers since the beginning of mankind. In recent centuries especially, many great minds have proclaimed that existence is random. No god or divine power exists, and even attempts to gain control remain subject to simple chance.
And yet some of the greatest minds of humankind have agreed upon just the opposite: that some conscious force is aware of everything that happens. And yet they still can't answer the ultimate question: Does this force control all that happens or does it leave the choice to us? The answer is up to each individual. Do you choose free will? These are some of the questions we'll explore in our final chapter.
