Izabell Url

Izabell is one of Hungary’s most interesting young writers and activists: a graduate of ELTE in Turkology and Iranian Studies, her work so far has brought little-known worlds—such as the Middle East and even the dark web—closer to the public. Through her stories she has always sought to uncover issues and perspectives rarely discussed elsewhere. At Brain Bar we now ask her about one of the most universal human desires: love. What happens when algorithms enter the picture, and is it truly easier—or perhaps harder than ever before—to find a partner in the age of matchmaking apps and social media?
