[The Thing - 1982] It's 1987 - five years have passed since the movie ending and The Thing managed to reach mainland. What is the state of the world? How do the cities look like? Is there any hope for mankind in the future?

If the computer simulation is accurate, the entire planet is aliens with no original human or animal species left alive within 3 years.  So Earth probably looks like the home planet of the alien.

If the alien was the ship pilot, then it is an intelligent, space faring race and Earth is probably well on it's way to that level of technology.  If the Thing was a sort of parasite that infected the original ship pilot, then Earth is a massive biomass of Cronenberg nightmares.
