The experience machine also is called pleasure machine. It is one of the best known attempts to refute ethical hedonism, and does so by imagining a choice between everyday reality and an apparently preferable simulated reality. If the primary thesis of hedonism is that "pleasure is good", then any component of life that is not pleasure does nothing directly to increase one's well-being. This is a view held by many value theorists, but most famously by some classical utilitarians.
2. Nozick attacks the thesis by means of a thought experiment. If he can show that there is something other than pleasure that has value and thereby increases our well-being,then hedonism is defeated. He asks us to imagine a machine that could give us whatever desirable or pleasurable experiences we could want. He also believes that if pleasure were the only intrinsic value, people would have an overriding reason to be hooked up to an experience machine , which would produce favorable sensations.
3. According my own view, our subjective experience can control our level of happiness. if we have some experiences before which is happy, the happiness level also is high. Therefore, if we experienced that something is not similar to our thought, our happiness level also will be dropped
