It closes the stories of the larger Robot, Foundation and Empire series of books.
None of Asimov's Foundation books really finalise the story, it's just an end to the current dilemma.
But while many of the books were mini-arcs in the Robot/Foundation universe, like Mirage, Chimera, Aurora and Caliban, Inferno, Utopia, plus all the Foundation books by Asimov and other authors, this final trilogy brings them all together in a story arc to finalise the events.
