Not sure if foundational (quite a tall order in such a fast-moving field), but for sure a nice introduction into neural networks, and even mathematics in general (for a teenager, because it's nice to see numbers in action beyond school-level algebra):

Somewhat foundational, if not in actuality, then in the intention to actually build a theory as in theory of gravitation, although not necessarily an introductory text:
