The books Marx wrote are the evidence. If you read them then you'd see why they are obviously relevant today. Of course, reading and understanding serious literature takes more effort than trolling on public forums.

Are there any modern books which talk about the same/similar contents which are easier/smaller for a beginner to start?

These books are fairly accessible and touch on a lot of the same ideas you'd find in seminal works like Das Kapital

Profit Pathology and Other Indecencies by Michael Parenti
Understanding Marxism, Economics: Marxian Versus Neoclassical, and Understanding Socialism by Richard D. Wolff
Super Imperialism and Finance Capitalism and Its Discontents by Michael Hudson
Capitalism, Coronavirus and War by Radhika Desai
