Jessica Nihlén Fahlquist has a Ph.D. in philosophy and is a senior lecturer in biomedical ethics at the Centre for Research Ethics and Bioethics at Uppsala University in Sweden.

"Jessica Nihlen-Fahlquist offers a clear, analytic discussion of moral problems that arise as we seek to hold people responsible for the risks (rather than the actual harm) they impose on us and others. Her discussion of fair risk distributions, as well as the distinction between backward and forward-looking responsibility, will be of significant interest to anyone working in the field. The discussion of individual and collective responsibility adds valuable perspectives to an important academic debate with major societal implications. I warmly recommend this book to scholars, graduate students and others interested in the philosophy of risk and responsibility." -- Martin Peterson, Professor of History and Ethics of Professional Engineering, Texas A&M University, USA
