Modern is a more difficult genre to make suggestions for, as we are living in it! But superheroes, espionage and the broadening of modern to include 80's until now makes things easier.
A generators guide for Modern is also on the way in next couple weeks.
For more PDF titles try Random Table Titles for Horror and Cyberpunk.
