| has gloss | eng: The Experience Machine is a short section of Anarchy, State, and Utopia by Harvard University philosopher Robert Nozick. The text is one of the best known attempts at a refutation of ethical hedonism, based on considering a choice between everyday reality and an apparently preferable simulated reality. However the scenario itself is nothing new, appearing regularly in science fiction. (To take a couple of examples, the short story "The Chamber of Life", published in the magazine Amazing Stories in October 1929 and, in The Matrix, Agent Smith's account of the early history of the Matrix includes the idea that humans reject a virtual reality that offers them paradise). |

| has gloss | spa: La máquina de las experiencias es una corta sección del libro Anarquía, Estado y Utopía del filósofo Robert Nozick. Esta sección del texto constituye uno de los más renombrados intentos de refutación del hedonismo ético, utilizando para ello una idea de elección entre la realidad diaria y una realidad simulada aparentemente preferible. Sin embargo, esta idea de una máquina capaz de producir experiencias y placer no es algo nuevo; muy por el contrario, ha aparecido regularmente en la ciencia ficción. |
