What's Expected Of Us by Ted Chiang
A brief speculative piece about a simple gadget that lights up a moment before its user presses a button, demonstrating that choices are predictable and calling the reality of free will into question; the story follows the social and personal fallout when this proof of determinism spreads—loss of motivation, eroded responsibility, despair and altered behavior—and closes with a sober reflection on what knowledge of inevitable outcomes does to meaning, agency, and moral judgment.
