Starting at logic gates and moving up through the levels of abstraction until you can build a programming language and implement a video game is the most fundamental approach that I'm aware of.
Not so much a textbook, but the class NAND to Tetris really opened my eyes as to how computers and OSes work. Demystifying all that was really helpful for my programming
