Rescuing free-will from the jaws of spacetime would be cool!
Free will does not exist. It is logically inconsistent. Either your choice is some function of your current state and the environment you are in, then the choice is not free, or it is independent of your current state and the environment you are in, then it is not your choice in any meaningful way, it is just the result of a coin flip.
You can do some mental gymnastics, define free will as being able to do what you want, define it as being free of various kinds of constraints, call it free if the choice is not computable in advance, if you can not measure all necessary variables, in practice or in theory, ... If you are happy with any of those definitions, fine, then you might have this kind of free will, but I would not consider any of those particularly interesting.
