I'm tempted to ask him why retconning major plot points from the first three books to make Foundation Edge and Foundation and Earth work with the robot universe was a good idea. but ultimately I bet it was because he was pressured by agents or someone to combine them for extra money.

One of the Holy Trinity of Science Fiction.
Between the three, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein probably wrote about half of all the iconic science fiction novels every written.
Asimov is best known for the Three Laws of Robotics, a sci-fi concept that is at the core of one of his main bodies of work, the robot series. It often surfaces in non-fictional discussions of the ethics of the coming robotic economy, also.
Asimov was an all-round genius who wrote quite a bit of non-fictional stuff, also. He was president of Mensa for a while.

Actually it was John W Campbell who came up with the Three Laws.
