Publisher’s Note: This is the second part of my two-part interview with Henry Walther, which I had intended to publish last week (notwithstanding the fact that last week, I traveled with my family to a remote corner of Alberta, Canada and had just assumed- rather ridiculously, in hindsight- that there was no possible way I would encounter any issues with high-speed wireless connectivity). My apologies for the delay. I am now, once again, safely below sea-level.
