The concept of "escaping determinism" or "rescuing free will" seems weird to me. For any of the very different definitions of free will there a bunch of arguments about whether they are true or not in our reality - but "I don't like the consequences" is not one of them.

Free will is not something that needs to be saved. We can't save it, we can't change it, we can't create it if it's not there, we can't remove it from the universe if it's there. It exists (or not) in some particular way, and that's it. It would be interesting to find out definitely, but that wouldn't really change anything; and I don't believe if there's anything in our behaviour that should change upon finding it out.
