And some modern covers are fantastic. I really like the cover of N.K. Jemisin's The Cities We Became, for example, or P. Djèlí Clark's A Master of Djinn, or Sorrowland (Rivers Solomon). Or any cover by Kathleen Jennings, but especially Flyaway. Okorafor's Lagoon. The art on Ada Palmer's and Arkady Martine's covers and the Murderbot books, which are definitely better in person. Even the perhaps more workmanlike covers of the James S.A. Corey and Adrian Tchaikovsky and Cixin Liu books are pretty good, I think, a modern take on classic SF covers telling you the books do what they say on the tin.
