Kari Aguila, geologička a vášnivá záhradníčka, sa vo svojej beletristickej tvorbe zameriava na dystopickú sci-fi. Jej diela skúmajú fascinujúce otázky o spoločnosti a ľudskej povahe, pričom jednou z jej kľúčových tém je možná zmena dynamiky moci medzi pohlaviami. Aguila si zakladá na tom, že jej príbehy sú podnetné a zanechávajú v čitateľoch silný dojem, aby o nich mohli premýšľať aj po dočítaní. Jej prístup k písaniu kombinuje vedeckú precíznosť s hlbokým záujmom o špekulatívnu fikciu.
