This heavily depends on what exactly you already know, and how much you want to know, but a good book that i've recently bought the paperback version off, (Mastering Bitcoin, Edition II) can be found here, https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

It explains in great detail the inner workings of Bitcoin, and some of it's future solutions. (Lightning Network, Segwit, etcetera.)

A site besides Bitcointalk which i think is particularily useful for any questions related to the technicalities of Bitcoin is; https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ You'll find many detailed answers here about a wide variety of questions. Definitely worth checking out if you want to know certain things.

welcome to the forum!

this is the most basic introduction i've found: https://bitcoin.org/en/how-it-works

in the last section it provides some suggested reading, one of which i highly recommend---the original whitepaper. it explains the ideas underlying bitcoin, and covers the basics of its design: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

this FAQ is also pretty useful. IMO, it's worth reading from top to bottom as a beginner: https://bitcoin.org/en/faq#general
