Hi Spencer,

At the risk of stating the obvious, there’s Finn Brunton’s excellent book: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/spam

Best,

I’d appreciate any suggestions for any work on spam, especially conceptual work (e.g., definitions of spam, taxonomies of different kinds of spam, etc.), since that seems to be harder to find than work on spam detection (though I’m also interested in that work as well).
