«Un tipo serio» es la historia del intento, por parte de un hombre común y corriente, de comprensión de un mundo donde en la radio se escucha a «Jefferson Airplane» y donde la televisión emite «F-Troop». Estamos en 1967, y la mujer de Larry Gopnik, un profesor de física en una tranquila universidad del Medio Oeste, acaba de decirle que le va a dejar. Se ha enamorado de uno de sus conocidos más pomposos: Sy Ableman.
