Good point about power getting decentralized from Swearengen. Otherwise I mostly watched Deadwood as a tale of the city itself becoming more and more of a central hub.
Can anyone recommend a movie or TV show that depicts (even tangentially) a process of decentralization?

The Wire isn't really about decentralization, but does show the way many phenomena can arise as a result of systemic effects. E.g., many roles in a society are really ecological niches that will be filled by _someone_, in a completely decentralized way

haha yeah, it’s my second favorite show of all time, and for just that reason.

If you have some time on your hands, my new favorite is the series Mr. Robot. Central plot takes apart big banks, which it successfully depicts using methods that actually could work (writers consult hacker specialists in real life) Neat mental health/fight club overlay to boot.

thanks for the rec. I’ve had Mr Robot on my radar for a while now; will bump it up in the priority queue

Any Chinese TV show on spring and Autumn period is about decentralization and then recentralization

One of the few that gets better and better as time goes on. Fight club too. Bob Dylan’s Times are a changing, too.
