has there been any worthwhile literature/works ever written about trolling? i feel as though it's an overlooked behavior in the modern age, especially given its ability to have a profound emotional impact on both the 'troll' and 'trolled'.

of course, trolling itself has existed in differing forms throughout the ages—ranging from the most basic insults to more sophisticated acts. however the computer age has brought about a revolution in the act by allowing trolling to be performed:
1) without consequence
2) without restriction to time
3) without restriction to location
4) without restriction to person

as well as increasing the varieties in which it may come into existence.

i'd like to make a love letter to the art, there's something about it that escapes words and brings a kind of jubilation that no other act can provide, though before that i'd like to research it more thoroughly.

Trolling is just sociopathy in the digital age. I don't know of any books on the subject, but there are films/documentaries.

some guy did his master's thesis on /fit/ culture back around the early 2010s so that probably discussed "trolling" at an academic level

Trolling was more soulful in the 60s when it was done to jolt the sleepers awake

I mean it's more about "getting trolled" than "trolling" but I'd still very much count it
