It isn't first principles, but I would recommend 3blue1brown's ongoing series about neural networks [0]. I think there's a benefit to seeing the high level overview helps understand the purpose of the pieces as your learning them; it can help with motivation. Or watching overviews like this after the fact it can help bridge connections theory may not elucidate.

3blue1brown's content on NN's is awesome -- The explanations are super intuitive. But I'm also looking to understand, as you say, the big picture and understand where NN's fit.
